Putting Search in Left Menu
 

Hi All,

My first post :)

I want to put the search box in the left menu on the home page instead of it being where it is now (top right of page), so under categories etc so a user can search from there instead...

You can see my site at www.tyres2go.co.uk

The search is on the top right you see... and i want to move it under "Choose Tyre Size" and above "help"

Any ideas?

Hi awesomeade, welcome to the Forum! First off, it will help if you put your X-Cart version number in your signature so that we can all assist you better.

Now, as far as moving the search box goes, you will want to open up head.tpl and cut this:


Then paste it in your customer/home.tpl template somewhere after this:


but before this:


You will also want to edit the customer/search.tpl so that the advanced search text goes under the search box...that way it will fit in the column nicely under the categories. Good luck!

Excellent :)

Thanks for your help - it worked!! It also gave me a little tutorial where i should be editing etc and its given me the confidence to hack around a little more :)

Thanks again!

Glad I could help! Webmaster mode will really help you to determine what is what. Play around with it a bit and you'll see what I mean :)
